There are some concepts that has little correlation or anything to do with their etymology. An example is the Nigerian interpretation of the term 'change' which has come to mean several different things to many Nigerians. The term 'change', to many Nigerians, has become synonymous to the political demagogue from untrustworthy politicians.
Not so long ago, the term 'change' symbolised just that - change, howbeit, in a positive way. Now many Nigerians do not want to hear 'that' word because it reminds them of a government that has failed to deliver the 'change' they so desired.
The term 'change' will remain for a very long time in the Nigerian colloquium one synonymous to fraud.
